I have touched it, it's beautiful

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have touched it, it's beautiful

... the Soloist Carbon, that is.

Man, saw it at the shop where I bought my Cervelo. Truthfully, the original Soloist is a bit 'edgy' for me. Sharp corners and straght lines. The Soloist Carbon is beautifully smoothed at all joints. Very organic. What a great looking machine.

$6,000.00 CDN + taxes, for those who are so inclined. Spec'd out same as the r2.5 Team (DA10, Easton Circuits, Etc.).

I still prefer the r2.5, but it was really a lot more beautiful than I thought it would be, and I would love a test ride.

Where'd you see it, Wheels on Bloor?

Yes, it's in the front window shining in all it's glory.

Bikes: none at the moment

i've held the P3 Carbon frame,, it was rediculusly light, and looked amazing, any reason why you couldn't use it all th time and just slap on regular wheels and bars?

on a side note, anyone else using zone alarm have problems seeing the bike pictures on cervelo.com???
